English proficiency group

In 2001–02, English Proficiency Group was a data element but has been dropped from subsequent years. Definitions for each group are below:

The 1996 Classification of Countries into English Proficiency Groups places every country into one of four groups based on the relative English proficiency (EP) of its recent arrivals to Australian from the 1996 census date. An 'English proficiency index' was used to rate each of the EP groups.

• English proficiency group 1 - are those countries that scored 98% or higher on this index and had an immigrant population of 10,000 or more;
• English proficiency group 2 - are those countries with a 'high' level of English proficiency (80-98%, or above but with an immigrant population of less than 10,000);
• English proficiency group 3 - are those countries with a 'moderate' level of English proficiency (a rating of more than 50% but less than 80%); and
• English proficiency group 4 - are the remaining countries, who have a 'low' level of English proficiency (those with a rating on the EP index of less than 50%).
